What Our Editors Thought
“Broad caramel-apple notes in the aroma resolve in tighter berry notes with a tannic structure that’s still sweet.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Deep cherry, black currant, and light cranberry aroma. Sweet, bordering on fruit punch. The blackberry character comes across nicely; pear is subtle enough that it’s probably always going to lose that fight. High effervescence and tannic finish save it from being completely cloying.”
What the Brewers Say
“An ode to ripe summer fruit with bold flavors, a rich body, bright acidity, and a smooth finish. Succulent, sweet, dark, and tangy.”
